Here is how Arsenal and Leicester City will line up this afternoon:
Arsenal welcome Leicester City to the Emirates Stadium this weekend for a huge top-of-the-table clash.
The Foxes are currently five points clear of the Gunners with 13 matches remaining for both sides this season, so this is very much a six-pointer.
Leicester emphatically proved their title credentials when they defeated Manchester City 3-1 last time out so they have more than enough to get one over Arsene Wenger’s side this afternoon.
That said, Arsenal will know a victory of their own will pull them right back into the title race so this one really could go either way.
Arsenal won the reverse fixture 5-1 but that was a blip rather than a sign of things to come for Leicester, who have lost just one other league game all season.
That said, the Foxes are without a win in their last 18 league games against today’s opponents but Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez will be out to change that this afternoon.
